Bmpd comment. According to known data, in November and December 2, 2020, the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation thus received two additional su-34 front-line bombers manufactured by the Novosibirsk aviation plant (NAZ, a branch of PJSC Sukhoi Company) as an Addendum to the contract of February 2012 for the supply of 92 su-34 aircraft. Thus, in total, 94 su-34 aircraft were actually manufactured at NAZ under this long-term contract. The first two su-34s under this contract were transferred to the Russian air force in Novosibirsk on December 24, 2013, the next 18 aircraft - in 2014, another 18 aircraft - in 2015, 16 - in 2016, 16 - in 2017, 12 - in 2018, eight - in 2019 and now the last four (including two additional) - in 2020.
